The Lou's Closet Team — *The Lou’s Closet Team*

Another year, another successful closet, with $135,000 raised! What an amazing result we achieved, thanks to help from our community. Every single cent raised goes directly to helping the women who access Lou’s services.

We’re grateful for the continuous support of Australian designers Carla Zampatti, Bianca Spender, Moss and Spy, and Baz, as well as generous clothing donations from individuals.

We couldn’t have pulled it off without the tremendous efforts of the Lou’s Closet team who worked tirelessly over the three-day event, as well as in the months leading up to it.

The closet was held at the Tramsheds in Forest Lodge. Beautiful clothing hung in our designer boutique, with luxury international designers such as Gucci, Prada, Armani, Versace, Louis Vuitton, and Australian designers such as Zimmerman, Camilla and Marc, and Camilla. Our general boutique boasted well-known Australian labels, including Veronika Maine, Country Road, Cue and Sportscraft. The vintage and knitwear sections also proved to be very popular.

Lou’s Pantry, a valued part of the closet, sold an array of homemade chutneys, seasonings, jams and baked goods, all prepared by our kitchen volunteers.

Shoppers young and old snatched up many bargains, while at the same time supporting the sustainability of the fashion industry.

Thank you to everybody who supported Lou’s Closet. We can’t wait to see you all again in May 2026.
